The Erythraean Sibyl was the prophetess at Erythrae, a town in Ionia opposite Chios. The town was built by Neleus, the son of Codrus. This oracle prophecied Alexander the Great's divine parentage, according to legend. His mother, Olympias, was said to have had an affair with Zeus, the King of the gods in Greek mythology. This particular sibyl is not remembered for other pronouncements.
